Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is the banker of this whole treasure. When it is given, you load it up and carry it with you wherever you go.
And it never runs low, never. That is the understanding that settles into a heart the Guru has opened.
The One is the banker behind this whole treasure.
Is har Dhan kaa saahu har aap hai — the One is the saahu of this wealth. A saahu is a banker, the one who holds the money and gives it out. When the One gives it, we load it up and carry it with us.
Is har Dhanai kaa totaa kaday na aavee — this wealth never runs short. Totaa means running short. Think of a well fed by a deep spring. You can draw water all day and it never runs dry. The poet ends by saying even this understanding was a gift: gur sojhee paa-ee, the Guru gave me this insight.
What is the difference between something you were given to keep and something you truly earned yourself?
